Yes, yes I
know.Even though I have been reading
the “Black Cat” manga series since 2009, I had not really been keeping up with
reviewing the series at the time. So, this volume will be the first time I had
reviewed this series, but hopefully, I will go back and review the previous
nine volumes in the future.

Man, I have been enjoying Kentaro Yabuki’s amazing “Black
Cat”
series ever since I picked up the first volume and to be honest, I had only
just read the tenth volume of this series recently since the bookstore I
usually got my “Black Cat” manga series from had closed down.So, I was forced to wait several years to
figure out a way to read the rest of this series after the ninth volume ended
on such a huge cliffhanger and I was desperate in trying to find out what
happens next!Now, I finally got that
chance with the tenth volume of the “Black Cat” series, “Black
Cat: Big Changes!”

After the intense battle between Creed and the Cerberus Team in the last
volume, it looked like no one survived the battle until it turns out that Creed
is still alive (though he lost his arm) and he is now more than ever determined
to make Train join his cause.This
results in Creed kidnapping Eve and Sven so that he could get Train to join him
by killing both Eve and Sven.

Will Train be
able to rescue his friends in time?

Wow! This volume was absolutely amazing! I know that I had gushed over
how much I have loved Kentaro Yabuki’s “Black Cat” series before, but this
volume was definitely something that was both exciting and shocking at the same
time!I loved the way that Kentaro
Yabuki wrote each character, especially Train Heartnet himself as Train is
shown to be an extremely intense character who also has some comedic traits
that I found endearing.I also loved the
characters Sven Vollfied and Eve as I loved their relationship with Train,
especially Train’s relationship with Sven as it is both hilarious and
heartwarming, especially during the scenes where Sven beats up Train whenever
he botches a chance for the group to earn money, which causes me to laugh out
loud constantly!I also loved the way
that Kentaro Yabuki explored the potential threat that Creed poses, as
he is trying to kill both Sven and Eve and that showed just how dangerous and
insane Creed really is (I mean, if you had read the previous nine volumes, then
please tell me that Creed is mentally unstable in his pursuit of Train)!I also loved the fact that Train was willing
to risk his own life to save both Eve and Sven since it proved how much Train
really cared about Eve and Sven and what he was willing to put on the line in
that situation. Kentaro Yabuki did a fantastic job at balancing the humor
and the intensity in this volume as it made the story even more interesting to
read and I always enjoyed the characters’ witty banter with each other while
they are fighting for their lives! Kentaro Yabuki’s artwork is truly gorgeous
and creative as all the characters are drawn halfway realistically and I always
loved the way that their hairs always glow on each page!

The only problem with this volume is that there is some gory violence in
this volume, especially during Creed’s battle with Sven where Creed cuts into
Sven’s body with his sword and you can see blood squirting out of the wounds.Anyone who does not like seeing gory violence
in a manga series might want to skip over these scenes.

Overall, “Black Cat:
Volume Ten: Big Changes” is definitely one volume that you have to check
out in the famous “Black Cat” manga
series and just as the title suggests, prepare for some huge changes to happen
in this series yet to come!
